If you want a great turnout for a cause, one thing has to be a staple: food.

The competition for which house makes the best wings is on as Thursday the Interfraternity Council at the University of Florida hosted its annual philanthropy Chicken Wing Charity Thing.

The event is held each year in order to raise money for Dance Marathon at UF. Last year’s total from the event was $10,000, a number that IFC would love to beat.

As for what the event is, it’s a buffet that will liven up your taste buds with of course, chicken wings. Each IFC chapter was in charge or providing their own unique flavors of wings from delicious classics like BBQ and buffalo to daring flavors such as teriyaki and strawberry BBQ.

College Chef's Kyla Radziejewski of Lambda Chi Alpha, was in charge of providing the wings for the chapter and describes making the wings as a slow and steady process to get the flavors just right.

“In the kitchen it's important to be really methodical and creative, you don’t want to be boring but use ingredients which hit you just right with flavor,” Radziejewski said.

College Chefs, a Greek food solution, not only catered Lambda Chi, but also has chefs at Kappa Alpha, Pi Kappa Phi and Sigma Nu that cooked and catered mouthwatering wings that had tables cleared within minutes.

When the wings are all set they are brought over to their respected spot where curious eyes and hungry stomachs await to see what each chapter has provided.

Aside from the wings, several members of the Panhellenic Council provided exquisite desserts from chunky chocolate chip cookies to fudge brownies to complement the wings and to compete as well for the title of best dessert.


After attendants made their rounds, it was time to dig in as numerous tables were laid out where everyone could enjoy the outdoors.

From wings, desserts to dunk tanks - the Greek and UF community had a great time supporting a good cause while filling up their stomachs, what more can one ask for on a Thursday afternoon?


College Chefs is the creative food solution exclusively for fraternities and sororities around the U.S. A culinary company first, their Chefs are world-class talents whose backgrounds range from former restaurant owners to genuine, trained foodies who are just looking to break into the industry.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
